Cheap Flights to Panshi from HK$603

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Panshi escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Panshi easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
